classregistry

classresolver.py

Resolves strings to classes, and runs callbacks when referenced
classes are created.

Classes are referred to only by name, not by module. So that
identically-named classes can coexist, classes are put into individual
registries, which are keyed on strings (names). These registries are
created on demand.

Classes

We'll be dealing with classes that reference each other, so
class C1 may reference C2 (in a join), while C2 references
C1 right back. Since classes are created in an order, there
will be a point when C1 exists but C2 doesn't. So we deal
with classes by name, and after each class is created we
try to fix up any references by replacing the names with
actual classes.

Here we keep a dictionaries of class names to classes -- note
that the classes might be spread among different modules, so
since we pile them together names need to be globally unique,
to just module unique.
Like needSet below, the container dictionary is keyed by the
class registry.
